DaRon Bland added to the Giants’ misery by scoring on a pick-6 later in the first quarter1. The Cowboys didn’t need much from quarterback Dak Prescott and the offense. They got two field goals from new kicker Brandon Aubrey and Tony Pollard got Dallas’ first TD on offense on a 2-yard run midway through the second quarter to push the advantage to 26-0 at halftime1.
The Giants took the opening kickoff, rolled down the field and reached the Dallas 8 behind the running of Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones1. On a third-and-2, left tackle Andrew Thomas moved early and rookie center John-Michael Schmitz made a bad snap that Jones recovered back at the 271. Graham Gano’s 45-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Juanyeh Thomas, who jumped between a crack at the end of the line and easily blocked the kick1.
Second Half
Pollard, the Cowboys’ lead running back after the release of Ezekiel Elliott during the offseason, had a 1-yard run in the third quarter1. KaVontae Turpin added a 7-yard TD run in the fourth1.
The game was never close after that, just to show how bad the Giants played, Gano missed a 36-yarder with 1:05 left in the half, leaving coach Brian Daboll shaking his head1. Jones finished 15 of 28 for 104 yards with a quarterback rating of 32.41. Prescott was 13 of 24 for 143 in beating the Giants for the 11th straight time1.
